New and Improved 'Percy Jackson' Trailer

DateThursday, November 19, 2009 at 6:02PM
Poseidon...you are the father. That's the jumping off point for Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which involves a kid (Logan Lerman) who discovers he the demi-god son of the the Greek landlord of the oceans and seas.

It will try to get some of the Harry Potter momentum by involving - and thoroughly promoting - Potter director Chris Columbus, which is probably not a dumb move at all. The film is clearly not intended for the kids that were targeted for Sorcerer's Stone, because they're in college now or close to it, but the connection can't hurt.

You know what else can't hurt? A better trailer, which has more humor and more action than the previous stuff we've seen. I wouldn't say it can replace the boy wizard in anyone's mind, but it's a pretty good two minutes for young adult fare. Plus, for the non-young adults: Rosario Dawson.


Thanks, Trailer Addict

Percy Jackson, who would probably complain about his name if his parent wasn't, you know, Poseidon, opens in theaters on February 10th.
